Jonathan’s adviser uncovers PDP moles

Special Adviser to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Affairs, Ahmed Gulak, said on Monday in Abuja that the ruling People’s Democratic Party had uncovered the moles in its fold sent to destabilise the party. Gulak stated this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He was reacting to the crisis in PDP which deepened on Saturday when seven governors walked out of the party’s special national convention to form a splinter group. Gulak, who did not specifically name the moles, alleged that they were sent by the opposition with the aim of breaking the party. “The opposition out there wants the party to split and there are moles. They sent moles in the cloak of PDP. We have discovered them and Insha –Allah (God’s willing), all PDP stakeholders, especially our field commanders who are governors have discovered this, and we are talking,’’ he said. Gulak said he was surprised that former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, whom, he said, had benefitted mostly from PDP could lead the breakaway faction. “The opposition out there wants the party to split and there are moles. They sent moles in the cloak of PDP. We have discovered them and Insha –Allah (God’s willing), all PDP stakeholders, especially our field commanders who are governors have discovered this, and we are talking,’’ he said. “I was surprised because Atiku is supposed to know more than any other person that there is no party like PDP. “He once left PDP and went to ACN and he came back to PDP because he discovered that outside PDP, there is no other party.
